HOUSTON (AP) — Child welfare officials in Texas say a Houston boy found in March after being kidnapped as an infant eight years ago is still not ready to meet his parents.

At a court hearing Wednesday in Houston, Child Protective Services officials updated state District Judge Mike Schneider on the case of 8-year-old Miguel Morin. The boy will remain in the state’s care at least until a Sept. 12 hearing.

CPS officials say a therapist working with Miguel doesn’t believe he’s ready to have visits with his parents.

Officials say Miguel’s parents, Auboni Champion-Morin and Fernando Morin, who live in Houston, are being cooperative and have received photographs of the boy. The father’s attorney says the parents “are holding up well.”
